Touchlink is a Canadian firm (distinct from Clic.net) which has developed an on-line secure, real-time credit card processing system for Canadian and American Internet merchants. This system can be used by Canadian and American merchants who already have an existing merchant account with a bank. If you do not have a merchant account, you should open one in a bank of your choice. Do not forget that your bank will ask for a security deposit.

Touchlink accepts Canadian currency for most merchant accounts. However, American currency is accepted only for merchants who have a Royal Bank merchant account.

With Touchlink, you can accept the following:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• American Express
• Diner's Club - En route
